Given the conversion rate some people mention, Diamond in SEA is roughly equal to Grandmaster NA.

Looks legit.

I have ladderred ALL DAY today trying desperately to stay in, and im still at 100 bonnus pool... i cant keep this up.

on another interesting note, the stress (i hope its that and im not just crap now) is causing me to play alot worse, and i am checking a players profile after a match, and even losing vs high diamond players, i do not understand why it is matching me against diamond, when it was just masters league, it was VERY rare i faced a diamond, but at the moment its quite common.

surely my MMR could not suddenly go from GM, to low low master (low enough to face diamonds, albeit favoured.)

either way, I am at a loss here of how to clear this pool and manage to keep it there, while still having a normal 9-5 job.

GM league, has... really made laddering stressful, i was a ladder fanatic, one of those ppl whoe check their points all the time and really take their rating seriously(even though its not the best way to look at ur skill level, but hey i love numbers)

I actually dont want to play sc2 lately, as this situation has really ruined things for me.

if anyone has any ideas or comments pls let me know

its difficult to clear away bonus pool, thats why they drop GM away once they hit a certain amount of bonus pool stored..

So you have to stay active and most importantly(win) to clear the bonus pool else will drop drop and the seat will be replace by another person.

For idea to clear bonus pool.. i think either ask a friend play for you~
or
(not sure about this) - since you keep losing and your MMR go lower which will have you facing lower league opponents(while staying in GM) increasing your winning chance and you will start to win and also clear to bonus pool

hehe thx for ideas man, but i think that they have a system in place where, as your MMR drops, you become more and more favoured in your games, thus trying to force you out of GM league unless u can win enouigh for your MMR to climb again, so even my MMR drops heaps as long as im still in GM league this trigger stays that means im always favoured i think.

The amusing thing is even if you drop out of the top 200 due to 'inactivity', you'd either instantly get put back in because you still have top 200 MMR, or proceed to only play GM players anyways and dish out -23s everywhere.

Holy shit, that actually sounds awesome. It's like smurfing on your own account.

If you are a new member and **** up, and a previously-banned member fucks up equally, the latter will be punished harder while the first may only get a warning. Nobody disputes this, it seems logical enough.

Yet people cry when the opposite situation occurs; someone who's heavily contributed to the community gets additional leeway compared to random posters. This is not different logic.

In conclusion, lol.

Yep, awesome moderation is awesome.
